While heat will kill the life of any Li-Ion battery, the real problem is the display. Which is similar to any smart phone or laptop. I believe you will find the same environmental factors for the power book as well. So if you feel the apple laptops are doing just fine, get an iPhone, if not don't. Personally I am thinking the LG Prada would be better as my provider caries them and I don't have to renew two years to get it. -----Original Message----- From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of David Sent: Monday, July 02, 2007 7:59 PM To: Main PLUG discussion list Subject: Re: Way OT: iPhone battery On Mon, 2 Jul 2007, Dan Lund wrote: > So basically its unuseable in phoenix? > > > On 7/2/07, Tuna wrote: >> I have heard that the battery dies at any temperature over 95 degrees... >> Not sure what happened to my last reply, but oh well. Anyway, I'm not sure where this little tidbit came from, but the only thing I could find online was a reference to operating temps of the iPhone with 95 being at the upper end. This makes sense, though. You dont really want the *phone* to reach 95 degrees. Basically, dont leave it outside on the sidewalk, or on the dash of your car during the day and you'll be fine. I can assure you that it works just fine outside, with temps over 110. And it is a pretty damn sweet device. Much better than the: - bb pearl I had - blackjack I had - nokia 6682 I had - the other 2 nokias I had (all smart phones) - 4th gen iPod it replaced btw, I heard a rumor that the human body doesn't work above temps of 110 or so.
